Hope you all enjoyed seeing my newest baby.


Still thinking of a name though. We name all our herps (except Neo) after Marvel Comic characters. I'm liking Storm, my man wants Beast or Lady Deathstrike (Deathstrike for short). I'm really liking Storm or Deathstike (lol kinda has a ring to it) Beast just isn't working for me though. It's hard naming them when you can't even tell the sex yet, so i'm i'm trying to come up with a name that could go both ways, what do you all think????

Should it be Storm, Deathstike, or Beast, or possible another characters name that we haven't already used???

Very nice
I want some of Anthony's babies.
I would go with Storm, personally.

[beth wallbank]

Rogue..........I love that name. I named my bandogge female Rogue because shes jet black with a white blaze.

[AnthonyC]

How about "Dammit" or "Stolen?" j/k

:)

I still can't believe I did that. lol - I swear it just looked like a typical orange tiger earlier that morning. I think it's going to be a lighter colored gecko with more of a harlequin/chevron pattern, which several of my Tiger babies have ended up with.

Even though it came from me, nice grab. :D

[AnthonyC]

BTW, The setup looks perfect.

[CDN-Cresties]

Nice looking crestie, as for a name....go with storm. :)

[drewlowe]

Thanks everyone,

Anthony, Nice grab is right. LOL It's nice what you can do with "spare" supplies around the house, it took about 2 seconds to set it up.

Beth i'm with you Rouge is one of my favorites, but i already have a leo named that. I think i've used most of the good names up, but i thinks his/her name will most likly be Storm.

Thanks again everyone, i've been bitten by the crestie bug!!!

No fuss about anything, I'm just exited cause it's my first crestie and i got him from another member here (AnthonyC). Nice suggestion with night crawler, but my rose hair T already took that name almost 3 years ago. lol

Well i broke out the HUGE collection of cards my man has and looked for about 1 1/2 hours and decided on Shiva. It has a nice ring to it. Shiva is a Marvel Charcter plus it's also one of my favorite Eons on the Final Fantasy Series (video game).

Jamie

[little_dragon_]

It does have a really nice pattern and I really like your set up.
Shiva sounds good.
What size kritter keeper is that?

[drewlowe]

Thank you, It's a large Kritter Keeper.

Not that I have to defend the quality of my Cresteds (especially to someone like you), but humor me and take a look at my website. Then come back and tell me how many "normal" Crested Geckos you find.

Here's a link for you...

Just FYI, That's actually a pretty nice Tiger hatchling, which won't get its color until it's about 4-6 months old. That said, next time you want to be rude and rain on the parade of a proud new Crested Gecko owner, do it to someone who actually has a normal Crested Gecko. At least then you won't look like you don't know what you're talking about.

Who are you to speak to me like that are you the gecko king?
Why are you jumping down my throat has anything I ever posted on here sounded stupid? I post on here for research and information. The vibe I get from you is that you're a very pompous person, especially when it comes to your geckos. I know what I'm talking about thankyou for trying to give me a bad rap.

[little_dragon_]

oh and by the way all crested geckos are normal. They're poly morphic..they haven't been genetically mutated like leopard geckos for their patterns they come natural

[AnthonyC]

I'm not going to turn this into an obnoxious argument, so this will be my only post on this.

Who am I? I'm the guy that produced the gecko that you "didn't see what all the fuss was about." Jamie must be a nicer person than I, because if I were her, I would've told you to bite me.


Originally posted by little_dragon_

Absolutely not. I'm a Carpet and Green Tree Python guy. In fact, Cresteds and Gargoyles are the only geckos I've even bred. I really don't know much about geckos in general, but I do feel that I have some knowledge of Cresteds...knowledge that I've shared with you on numerous occasions.

I'm "jumping down your throat" because you're rude and you knew exactly what you were trying to say. I didn't say that anything you've posted has been stupid, other than the comment in question. In fact, I think I've been pretty helpful to you specifically...especially considering what a pompous *** I am.

The little one that I sold Jamie is actually one of the nicest baby Tigers I've ever seen, so yes, that sounded stupid. If you knew anything about them, you'd have noticed the nice pattern and you'd know that even brightest orange and red Cresteds start off tan.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Anyone who's ever met me knows that this is entirely not true. I do, however, take great pride in my Cresteds because I've put a lot of time and finances into acquiring and producing the nicest ones I can. That said, when someone wants to insult them (and you're the first), it doesn't flow well with me.

That said, I'm not afraid of losing "popularity points" by calling someone on it when they act like an a-hole.

I don't insult anyone's animals (nomatter what they look like and no matter how much they want to brag on them) and I don't take it lightly when someone insults mine.

On another note, that probably explains why you felt the need to be a jerk to Jamie, when all she was doing was sharing her excitement about her new gecko. If you had a problem with me, you should email me, not act like an *** to the first person you see on here that gets a gecko from me.

If you feel that's true, then why did you feel the need to tell Jamie that her gecko "looks like a normal crestie?" That would be like going out of your way to tell someone that they have black tires on their car.

It doesn't matter, though, because you're wrong. Due to selective breeding, traits (colors, patterns, body structure, etc.) have been exagerated. They don't come in bright orange and red or with pinstripes out of the wild.

OK...I'm done with this. Post what you like, but you'll get no more replies from me.

-Anthony

[little_dragon_]

I didn't know it was your first crested gecko, and for that I'm sorry

[HeatherRose]

Oh dear...

Well, first, thats a really nice looking pattern and colour on that gecko. Its a fantastic colour to have as your first :D

Anthony has some of the nicest looking crested geckos I've ever seen, and I love looking at his pictures...

Second, good choice on the name :D Naming is so hard...I named my hatchlings Spot and Not...ones got spots and one...doesn't :p So much for creativity!

Enjoy your little guy :D

[little_dragon_]

I know anthony has stunning cresties, it's all good

[drewlowe]

Anthony i took the "fuss" thing the same way you did, but i made 2 "meanish" post a few days before and i was in too GREAT (because of the crestie) of a mood to even try and be mean. I know it's not a "normal" crestie, it's special cause it's all MINE lol, i personally know that the colors will change into a very stunning pattern (because i seen the pics of the parents and can i say wow). Don't worry cause i can tell you this I WILL be back for more because of the quality of animals and the great customer service, and damn you for contributing to my addiction (just with a different species) LOL.

Oh and keep a look out because in the next few weeks i plan on e-mailing you about the possible purchase of another baby LOL.

Little dragon, no hard feelings.

PuNkuPoNAsTAR, Thanks and those are some cute name you have there also. I did the same thing to one of my snakes that i hatched last year. It was born with kinks in it's spine so i named it Kink. LOL origanality for you, i'm still looking to give it a "proper" marvel name but none has came to me so far.

I'm still so very excited about my new purchase, i look over at the kritter keeper and smile everytime. Well i'm off to go check on my collection and to feed and mist Shiva, anyone wanna come over and take out the dead bodies from my mealie bins. LOL

Jamie

[manville]

whatever....nice crestie!

[huhet]

i would have went with gambit...

[Ixidor]

2 words The Punisher he was my all time favorite marvel charectar since I was 12
